+Fixes attribute rendering for non-[boolean HTML attributes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Boolean/HTML) with boolean values to match proper attribute handling in browsers.
+
+Previously, non-boolean attributes may not have included their values when rendered to HTML. In Astro v5.0, the values are now explicitly rendered as `="true"` or `="false"`
+
+In the following `.astro` examples passed values of `true` and `false`, only `allowfullscreen` is a boolean attribute:
+
+```astro
+<!-- src/pages/index.astro -->
+<!-- `allowfullscreen` is a boolean attribute -->
+<p allowfullscreen={true}></p>
+<p allowfullscreen={false}></p>
+
+<!-- `inherit` is *not* a boolean attribute -->
+<p inherit={true}></p>
+<p inherit={false}></p>
+
+<!-- `data-*` attributes are not boolean attributes -->
+<p data-light={true}></p>
+<p data-light={false}></p>
+```
+
+Astro v5.0 now preserves the full data attribute with its value when rendering the HTML of non-boolean attributes:
+
+```diff
+  <p allowfullscren></p>
+  <p></p>
+
+  <p unknown="true"></p>
+- <p unknown></p>
++ <p unknown="false"></p>
+
+- <p data-foo></p>
++ <p data-foo="true"></p>
+- <p></p>
++ <p data-foo="false"></p>
+```
+
+If you rely on attribute values, for example to locate elements or to conditionally render, update your code to match the new non-boolean attribute values:
+
+```diff
+- el.getAttribute('inherit') === ''
++ el.getAttribute('inherit') === 'false'
+
+- el.hasAttribute('data-light')
++ el.dataset.foo === 'true'
+```
